Despite the COVID-19 epidemic raging in important over the world, 2021 ended as one of the most memorable sporting times, especially for Indian suckers. India won a record seven orders at the Tokyo Olympics, and the public justice platoon garnered notorious Test wins down from home. Sports is set to be a major source of joy in 2022 with several big events lined up. Then is a look at the biggest events that will keep sports suckers in India and the world hooked.
Cricket
India's stint in South Africa (26 December to 23 January) An absorbing Test series is presently underway in which India has made a winning launch. The three-match rubber will be followed by numerous ODIs in which India will get to see KL Rahul assume the lead part for the first time after a hamstring injury ruled Rohit Sharma out.ICC Under-19 Men's ODI World Cup in the West Indies (15 January to 5 February) Delhi batter Yash Dhull would be leading the Indian Fledglings as they look to add a fifth title to the nation's kitty. An aggregate of 16 brigades will fight it out over 48 matches in the premier age group showpiece.ICC Women's ODI World Cup in New Zealand (4 March to 3 April) India would be a contender in the mega-event which was held up for a time because of the epidemic. It would be a swansong for 39- time-old India commander Mithali Raj, who would be aiming to leave the big stage with a bang after an astral career during which she has been nothing short of a trailblazer for women's justice in India.ICC Men's T20 World Cup in Australia (16 October to 13 November) Just a time after Australia culminated as world titleholders for the first time in this format, they would be defending the crown on home turf. For the Indian platoon, it would be an occasion to redeem itself after a shambolic primary-round exit from the event last time.
Multisports
Winter Olympics in Beijing, China (4 to 20 February) Mired in political difficulties due to China's not so flattering mortal rights image, the Games have formerly been diplomatically transacted by superpowers like the US and Britain among others. The athletes, on their part, would try to ensure that their performances remain the focus despite the political drama that's anticipated to unfold on the sidelines. For India, which have no way won an order at the downtime circus, skier Arif Khan would be the one to watch out for having come the first from the country to qualify in two events — Slalom and Giant Slalom. Commonwealth Games in Birmingham, England (28 July to 8 August) A happy stalking ground for Indian athletes, the CWG would be a shade less joyous for the contingent this time with shooting not part of the competition canon. It remains to be seen how India copes with the absence of the sport that has contributed 135 orders, including 63 gold, to the country's census since making its debut in 1966. Asian Games in Hangzhou, China (10 to 25 September) India registered its stylish ever Games performance in the former edition in 2018 and would be anticipated to only do better in the background of an astral Olympic performance.
Football
AFC Asian Women's Cup in India (20 January to 6 February) It would be a huge step forward for women's football as the country hosts the premier indigenous event for the first time since 1979. The Indians have decent history to inspire themselves as they've been runners-up doubly in the event, in 1979 and 1983.FIFA Under-17 Women's World Cup in India (11 to 30 October) Another groundbreaking event for women's football in the country, which was first planned for 2021 but had to be held up due to COVID-19. Spain is the defending titleholder and the Indians would be eyeing to produce some decent performances to raise the profile of the sport in the country.FIFA Men's World Cup in Qatar (21 November to 18 December) The first World Cup to be played in the Arab world is set to be a downtime event with Qatar's cautioning summer making it insolvable for matches to be held during the usual June-July window. Formerly under a pall over allegations of corruption in the bidding process and working conditions of labour engaged for structure development, it remains to be seen whether the quality of football alone would be suitable to ensure the focus remains on the sport.
Athletics
IAAF World Crowns in Eugene, USA (15 to 24 July) Another pergola competition that was held up to this time because of the epidemic. Anju Bobby George remains the only Indian quarterfinalist at this biggie with a 2003 long jump citation and India would be hoping that Olympic gold- theft Neeraj Chopra's pikestaff would decide another corner order at this time's world crowns.
Hockey
FIH Women's World Cup in Spain and The Netherlands (1 to 24 July) The Indian women's hockey platoon has raised the bar significantly with a gutsy fourth-place finish at the Tokyo Olympics. Rani Rampal and her teammates would be keenly watched as they look to make on the cons of that performance. Their stylish at a World Cup was a fourth-place finish at the 1974 edition and they had managed to claim the eighth position in the former edition in England.
Swimming
FINA World Aquatics Championship in Fukuoka, Japan (1 to 29 May) The biennial event is a marquee competition for swimming, diving, high diving, open water swimming, cultural swimming, and water polo. India isn't important of a rival on the order front but challengers from the country would still look to make a mark by perfecting their timings.
